Obiettivo The objective of this project is a study of of ethnic minorities, in continuation of collaboration between western and Russian institutes, in the fields of linguistics, phonetics and information technology. The study of ethnic minorities will take place with the help of historical sound recordings which are stored in archives in St.Petersburg. These recordings contain valuable information on speech, extinct dialects and languages which are not only important for historical and cultural reasons, but also because they directly show processes of language change.Sound archives in Europe can be found in Vienna, Berlin and in some other places, and it is, in the long term, useful to create a European database of all these recordings. A very important contribution will be made by the extremely rich collection of the phonogram archive of the Russian Academy of Sciences, available in the Institute of Russian Literature (Pushkinski Dom) in St.Petersburg. At the beginning of this century, famous linguists and ethnographers started their work with the use of phonographs and other sound recording equipment: the dialectologist Zhirmunski made a very important study of Germanic dialects of Russia, while other specialists collected data on various other minorities. It is important for diachronic linguistic research to draw up an inventory of all these data, to re-record them using digital techniques and to set up an acoustic database containing these recordings. These data will be recovered by modern registration methods which have been developed by research groups in Europe and Japan. They will further be improved. The data obtained will be adapted to modern standards of digital registration and will be stored in an acoustic database.
